What is CBD?

September 04, 2018

CBD (Cannabidiol) is the non-psychoactive compound in the stalk of a mature hemp plant. Unlike THC (Cannabinoid), CBD cannot give you the euphoric "high" that THC does. Because CBD cannot get you high, it is legal and can provide extraordinary medicinal and therapeutic benefits.

The many compounds of cannabis react with the endocannabinoid system that runs through all the major systems in our bodies. Cannabidiol is one of the many compounds that does this. The cannabidiol binds to our endocannabinoid systems' receptors, stimulating changes in our body much like THC does. Since the CBD is non-toxic to our bodies, it is able to do this without getting us high. CBD has been known to stop epileptic seizures, relieve pain, fight cancer, reduce inflammation, treat mood disorders, and even treat serious neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's. Recreationally, CBD has been known to help with things such as stress and anxiety by relaxing users without the buzz of THC.

CBD is available in many forms such as oils, edibles, drinks, balms, beauty products and more. Check out our selectiononlineor come on in to the store and ask us about what we have to offer!
